First-Line Nurse Managers (FLNMs) play a key role in providing high quality and safe healthcare. Managerial competencies of FLNMs are crucial in health care, particularly in hospital settings. Objective: Develop an instrument to assess the perceived job competencies of FLNMs related to Staff Nurses’ Performance and Retention. Settings: The study was conducted in the four largest hospitals at El-Behira Governorate. Subjects: The study subjects were composed of two groups: Qualitative sample used to collect the qualitative data which make up the first version of the instrument, and a Quantitative sample composed of 294 FLNMs in the study settings in using the second version of the instrument. Tools: First tool is semi-structured interview developed by the researcher used to collect the qualitative data and second tool developed through three stages. Results: The developed instrument is valid and reliable to measure the perceived job competencies of FLNMs related to staff nurses’ performance and retention in the hospital settings. Conclusion: The current study concluded that the FLNMs competencies related to Staff Nurses Performance and Retention can be comprehensively measured, including various domains, dimensions and subdimensions. Recommendations: Using the current study's FLNMs’ competencies instrument as a valid and reliable assessment tool to determine FLNMs’ competencies in order to improve the staff nurses’ performance and retention.
